It was only a hundred steps from the inn to Cheng's house, and the two of them walked for a pillar of incense.

When he arrived at the big banyan tree at the door of Cheng's house, Huo Ying turned around and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”

"Huo Ying!" Qi Yan suddenly took two steps forward and looked at him with a pale little face, "If, if-"

"What if?" He asked.

"What if—" Qi Yan looked behind him and suddenly couldn't speak.

Huo Ying turned around, and in front of him stood Cui Fu and Liao Zhuo, as well as a few people from the Jinyi Division, and the mustache he met in the northwest town.

He subconsciously protected Qi Yan behind him and didn't let them see him.

"Huo Gongzi, you made us chase so hard! Fortunately, Qi Sanye has a clever plan, so you won't leave now, right? Cui Fu said with a bitter face.

Huo Ying heard Qi Sanye's three words, and his eyes instantly froze.

The mustache is also surnamed Qi?

He suddenly thought of something, turned around suddenly, and looked at Qi Yan.

"Who is he?"

Qi Yan's lips trembled: "Yes, it's my third brother." ”

Mustache was her brother, and when he was in the inn, Mustache and Cui Fu happened to go there one after the other...... She went to the wrong door after nightfall, saying that she had escaped from marriage, and then asked him to take her back to the river, which turned out to be a lie.

They all put it all together and took him for a fool.

"I know what you just said."

He looked at her, and his gaze was suddenly as cold as ice. "The whole thing was a scam from the beginning, but I didn't expect that you, a girl, would actually use such a shameless strategy to calculate me who I don't know. In the past ten days, your face has been a mask that you pretended, right? ”

"Not really!"

Qi Yan's tears rolled down. "I didn't calculate you, I was really drunk by the third brother's design, and then went to the wrong place!

"It was later that the third brother knew your identity and knew that the queen mother was looking for you, so he notified Gonggong Cui and Lord Liao! On the way you took me out of the inn, they stopped me while I was buying you wine, and asked me to find a way to lure you back to the Central Plains! Huo Ying, I never wanted to lie to you, I really ran away from marriage! If they had malicious intentions, I wouldn't have agreed! ”

"Does this have anything to do with me?" He stood there motionless, his whole body exuding a cold feeling. "Whether you can escape marriage or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Qi Yan also paused, looking at him with a pair of eyes wide open, tears falling down her cheeks, soaking her clothes in an instant.

Huo Ying was indifferent, even after the guilty minister, he had his pride, he knew what the queen was looking for him to do, but he didn't want to go back to accept the charity and mercy of the queen and Yin Yu. What he is even more unwilling is the deception of the people he cares about. How could she suddenly let him see the negativity of the world when he was defenseless?

She knew that it was not easy for him to have a little brightness because of her.

In the open space in front of Cheng's house, although there were many people standing, they suddenly fell into a daze and silence.

Cui Fu was dumbfounded, Liao Zhuo was thoughtful, and the mustache - oh no, Qi Sanye, the third son of the Qi family of the first family of Hejian Mansion, was now looking at his sister who was crying with his eyes wide open, how many times had he seen the youngest sister crying like this for a man? Not only did he never see it, but even the entire Qi family never saw it.

"Huo Ying, what kind of resentment do you have coming at me! Yan'er is innocent! ”

Qi Jun couldn't bear it anymore and rushed up. "I admit that I have selfish intentions, and I really can't stand you saying that Yan'er is your person in front of me in the northwest, so I sent a letter to Grandpa Cui and them, wanting them to get you away! But they are more insidious than me, and after seeing you running away and not forgetting to take Yan'er with you, they pulled Yan'er halfway and came up with the idea of asking her to turn you back! If you want to beat or scold me, then give my sister back! ”

He walked up and pulled Qi Yan.

Qi Yan avoided Huo Ying's side: "I don't!" ”

Huo Ying walked away, didn't look at her, and went to the street.

"Huo Ying!"

Qi Yan shouted, but no one paid attention.

Cui Fu and Liao Zhuo also seemed to have forgotten to chase people, and they both stopped in silence.

Out of the alley where Cheng's house is located, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and the sun was exposed to the body, some pain, some pain. This kind of pain is different from the pain when I first came out of Beijing, the original pain was like being punched by someone, and the whole piece was painful, this pain was different, like a knife tip stabbed on the body, and it only hurt a small piece, but the strength was deep.

God is not fair. He had never expected the love of children, and this time he was moved by not saying hello, but in the end it turned out to be just a hoax, it was his wishful thinking, and he was so stupid.

"Huo Ying."

Someone was calling for him, and he slowed down and looked up.

There are two fathers and sons, one big and one young, the father is tall and handsome, his eyebrows are kind, and the son is mighty and strong, although he is only a little more than half as tall as his father, but his appearance is as handsome as his father.

It's Yin Yu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He subconsciously looked around, both of them appeared here, what about the guards? Have you had enough of them? Who are you following? Reliable or unreliable? He has the leisure to go out of Beijing, so are the horse markets in the northwest stable? After Xie Wan gave birth to a daughter, she was already in confinement so soon? The emperor has been in good health lately?

Almost instantly, all these questions surfaced through the careful thinking he had cultivated over the years.

He suddenly realized that he still missed them.

"Your Highness."

He squeezed deeply. On the street, they were simple and simple, and he couldn't make a big salute.

"Uncle Cousin."

Yin Xu walked over from Yin Yu and saluted dignifiedly. "I have something for you."

Huo Ying looked at him and didn't speak.

Yin Xu grabbed his sleeve with both hands and pulled him under the big locust tree next to him: "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I heard that you travel everywhere, so envious." My father and mother are too uninteresting, I only learned from my aunt not long ago that they asked the imperial grandfather to make me the grandson because my father didn't want to take the concubine to block the mother's concubine, so he pulled me as a shield, cousin, the imperial grandmother and the concubine all said You are so powerful, you have to help me! ”

Yin Xu's childish words were like a spring breeze, temporarily soothing the desolation in his heart. He glanced at Yin Yu who was smiling in the distance, then looked at Yin Xu, who was looking up at him in front of him, and raised his hand to stroke the top of his head, "Uncle Cousin can't help you with this matter of concubines." ”

"Of course you can." Yin Xu said: "You don't know, Master Luo also got married a while ago, he doesn't teach me martial arts anymore, I am very idle every day after class, and my kung fu has also fallen behind." If my cousin can be my master and teach me martial arts and the art of using soldiers, I will not only be able to govern the world better in the future, but also be able to get out quickly when I am entangled by women! ”

Huo Ying was stunned, and said for a long time: "You are young, how can you have a woman entangled?" ”

"You don't know!" Yin Xu raised his hands in annoyance, "My aunt's little Qian'er is only one year old, and she hugged me as soon as she saw me, she was so young, and she will have it in the future?" For the sake of my mother, I don't want my father to do anything, but I can find a way to find an idea for myself, in short, if anyone peesters me, I'll run! If you can't run, I'll fight! ”

No matter how bad Huo Ying is, he can't help but show a ray of light.

"But my cousin doesn't want to go back, my cousin doesn't have the face to enter the palace again, and then enjoy the court."

What he can't accept even more than this is that others will privately say that he goes through the back door to rely on relationships, and if he is still a big husband, he should not go back.

"Who said you want to lead the court?" Yin Xu said loudly: "Besides, the emperor's grandfather did not sentence the people of the Huo family to never be officials. Today I am here to invite you, you come to Ziguan Hall to be my master, I will send you a fortune from my account, you don't have to care what others say! Can't I ask my cousin to be my personal bodyguard because I trust him? ”

The corners of Huo Ying's lips raised slightly, and he clenched his little hand.

Like his father, Yin Xu has a susceptible heart. But unlike Yin Yu, he is naturally bold and clever, he is a little less dignified than Yin Yu, but at the same time, his non-conformism makes people look forward to his future life when he grows up.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you know you did this?" He looked up and asked softly. Although he still felt that he should disappear from everyone's eyes, he could not say anything if he rejected the child.

"My father said that it was my own business, and he let me make up my own mind." Yin Xu patted his chest and said.

Huo Ying glanced at Yin Yu in the distance, and Yin Yu turned his head to look at the strings of yellow locust pods above his head.

How could he really believe that this was just Yin Xu's idea? Even if it was his idea, there were so many military generals in the Manchu Dynasty, and it was not a war at the moment, why did he choose him? If it weren't for the agreement of the emperor and Yin Yu and Xie Wan, how could Cui Fu and the people of Jinyi Division travel together? He knew from the beginning that they wanted to help him, but he really didn't expect Yin Xu to come out.

His heart is already barren enough, and when he comes back from a trip, he adds to his sorrow, and what is the point of wandering?

He really wanted to go home.

Perhaps, Yin Xu's proposal is good, for a military general, being able to guide Taisun's skills in using soldiers is also equivalent to indirectly realizing his ambitions. And those gazes, how do he know if he can bear them if he doesn't try?

"Uncle Cousin, just agree!" Yin Xu shook his arm and looked at him with blank eyes: "Miss Qi is very angry with you like that, you shouldn't be angry with me because I also let Cui Fu and them chase you, right?" If you are angry, you can wait until you are angry and then become my master, but don't be born for too long, otherwise I am afraid that I will not have time to learn the arts. ”

He looked down at the ground, nodded, and agreed.

Maybe when he enters the palace and returns to the familiar Jingshi, he will forget all this.

Three months later.

"Uncle Cousin, aren't you going to carve a doll for me? Why does this person look so familiar? And he doesn't look like a doll at all! ”

In the Ziguan Palace, the noisy sound has not stopped since after the meal.

Huo Ying looked at the little wooden figure that had already taken shape in his hand, turned his head and said, "This is a doll, what is this not a doll?" ”

"Not at all!" Yin Xu shouted, "This is clearly Miss Qi!" ”

Huo Ying put the knife down, "Forget it, don't carve it." ”

Since he entered the palace, this kid has been mentioning Qi Yan in his ear every day, don't you know that he wants to forget her? I don't know if he hates her to death? The woman......

He got up and went out of the temple door sullenly.

Yin Xu chased after him: "Uncle cousin! My father told me that the girl I like should hurry up and chase it, otherwise you will suffer if you are cheaper in the future! ”

Huo Ying simply pulled out his legs and ran to Yongfu Palace.

"Huo Ying, where are you going to escape?!"

A voice suddenly came out of the left front unpleasantly, and when I looked up, I saw a man in a crimson official uniform walking in the direction of Yongfu Palace, pointing at him and rushing over like a thief!

Is it Wei Xianam?

Wei Xian rushed to him, stabilized his body with a snort, grabbed him by the collar and said, "Okay, you Huo Ying, you bullied Yan'er and ran away?!" ”

Originally, when the Protectorate Mansion was still there, Huo Ying and Wei Xian had a lot of contact, and at this time, it seemed that he was crazy, and he grabbed his arm as soon as he raised his hand: "You are not good at being your county commander in Qinghe, what are you doing when you run back?" ”

"You bastard, why don't you hurry up and marry Yan'er back?! She grew so big that she was not afraid or afraid of a strange man, and you actually kicked her away like this! Are you still human? If you don't like her, don't mess with her! Don't pretend to be a good person and send her back from 800 miles away! You irresponsible guy with a small belly! ”

Huo Ying was confused by his first half of the sentence.

What does it mean to be not afraid of strange men? Was she afraid of strange men in the past?

"What do you mean?" He asked with a frown. "Who are you?" He had to know what qualifications Wei Xian had to call her Yan'er.

"She's my cousin!"

Wei Xian was so pinned down by him that he couldn't move, and jumped up and shouted. "She didn't lie to you from beginning to end, but because she heard about your situation, she was moved by my third cousin and Cui Fu. Haven't you come back to the palace now? She became a sinner! Since she was a child, she never dared to contact a strange man, let alone get married!

"Several of the family affairs that my uncle found for her were ruined because she couldn't overcome this obstacle, and this time my aunt forced her to grit her teeth and make a marriage, and she was still so scared that she ran away. But when she met you, she not only obeyed you, but also went all the way back to the river with you from the northwest alone, but the result was just to help you go home, but you were injured completely, you are still a man! ”

Cui Fu didn't know when he came over, coughed and said: "That's true, Master Huo, Miss Qi has always been reluctant to lie to you, always saying that you are a good person, and she agreed only after hearing us say that she has no ill will towards you." ”

Huo Ying stared at them, and something in his heart was disintegrating piece by piece.

After a few months in the palace, he still couldn't forget her.

He actually didn't blame her for a long time, but he couldn't pull his face to find her. I don't know if she will see her after she broke her heart like that, and I don't know if she still cares about his apology.

His original blame has long since turned into apprehension.

He believed every word Wei Xian said, if she lied to him from beginning to end, how could she show such a daughterly state so naturally? She is a girl from the huge Qi family, and he is now just a palace guard, if she is willing to lie to him, can she shed tears for him? If this was a scam, there would be no need for Wei Xian to hit him.

She has such a psychological barrier, even though the Qi family is powerful, they will not let their good girl die alone, and will naturally try to help her overcome difficulties and marry. No wonder she said at the beginning that he shouldn't take him in and should avoid him, at that time she was afraid that he would be misunderstood by the Qi family, and then forcibly become an uncle, right?

For the Qi family, Qi Yan just met a man who could make her psychologically not repulsive, and it was better than not being able to get married, right? Whose parents and brother don't want their daughter or sister to have someone to accompany them to old age?

Qi Yan, did he miss something?

Now what should he do.

"Uncle Cousin! Uncle Cousin! ”

Yin Xu ran over and raised the little wooden figure in his hand: "I just found out that Miss Qi is not engaged yet, I will give you a vacation now, you should go to Qi's house with your uncle and grandfather to propose marriage!" ”

The little wooden man is exactly what she looks like.

He took it, rubbed his fingers against the carefully carved eyebrows on his head, smiled, and flew over to grab a red horse that the eunuch was about to lead down, turned over, and clicked out of the palace!
